TO FARMERS OF LINCOLN 60.
The time aet for the street lair
to be held in Stroud next month is
rapidly approaching, and not a lew
fanners will have been saying:
“What will there be for us?'*
Well, in the first place, we are
time if you come to town during the
fair week. No pains will be spared
to provide for your entertainment.
But more than that; as we have
often said before, it is to the advant-
age of all to encourage the farmers
to put forth their best energies to
raise the very best products. Al-
most the same amount of care will
grow 50 bushels of corn to the acre
as will grow 35 bushels, if the right
variety is planted. The same area
of land will produce 20 bushels of
wheat instead of 10 bushels, if the
right kind is sown, and so on through
a long list of grains and other farm
products.
To the Stroud Land & Loan Co.
belongs the honor of being the first
to offer prizes for farm products,
and very liberal prizes at that. Mr.
was in progress marshal Hembrow
climbed onto the wagon and gravely
demanded to see his auctioneer’s
license. Mr. Charles winked both
eyes at him and pulling a cigar from
his inside coat pocket offered it to
him whereupon the guardian of the
law went his way.
And so the cotton season has be-
gun. We hope our local buyers
will retain the reputation thus estab-
lished and make Stroud the banner
cotton market of eastern Oklahoma.
NOT OVER JUBILANT.
The Republican press of Lincoln
county can hardly be accused of
being very jubilant over the outcome
of the Republican primary held last

All samples must be delivered at

Co. on or before Sept. 25th. The
prizes will be awarded September

Every farmer living in Lincoln
county has a right to compete for
these prizes. Come along, who'll
be the winner?
